Both are good reasons to block it.

Overriding the homepage the way it does it means "not displaying the
wizard anymore", effectively "breaking" the installer... and that's why
I blocked it.

What we really need is a way to whitelist allowed extensions... but as far
as I know we can't do that with firefox :/

Dealing with extensions mangling the HTML code is still an ongoing
task... and I'm effraid there's no solution to deal with them short of
trying to auto-generate the extension blacklisting file or starting FF
in safe-mode.
